Dear John Acordes

Dear John - Mandisa (2013)
Capo 1
 
You could play the whole song on capo 1, or switch to capo 2 at the final chorus (or the ahh-ah-ahhs right
before that).
 
[Intro]
G   D   Em   C
 
[Verse 1]
     G             D
Dear John, how you doin'
          Em             C
I've been thinking about you
                    G                             D
I'm not sure how to say it, but I've been praying daily
         Em                   C
For some kind of a breakthrough
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                 G
I've said this a thousand times
                     D
And I know you don't see my side
      Em                  C
But I do it 'cause I love you
        D                    C
So dear John, here's the truth
 
[Chorus]
        G                    D
There's freedom on the other side of
                    Em              C
Things that keep us tied up and afraid
        G                 D
There's hope in every situation
                      Em             C
No matter what you're facing every day
               Em              D
But it's up to you, you get to choose
              G                         C
The Father is waiting there with open arms
 
[Verse 2]
     G            D
Dear John, people hurt you
        Em                  C
And you know I've been hurt too
                  G                                 D
There's no way to escape it, don't let your pain be wasted
          Em                       C
No, don't let it get the best of you
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
                   G
'Cause God took my broken parts
              D
And gave me a brand new start
        Em                             C
Now I'm walking, breathing, living proof
          D                         C
And, dear John, He can do this for you
 
[Chorus]
        G                    D
There's freedom on the other side of
                    Em              C
Things that keep us tied up and afraid
        G                 D
There's hope in every situation
                      Em             C
No matter what you're facing every day
               Em              D
But it's up to you, you get to choose
              G                         C
The Father is waiting there with open arms
 
[Bridge]
Am                          C
It's not a list of do's-and-don'ts
                     G
Not a record of your faults
                           D
He gave His life to pay it all (Dear John)
Am                              C
He loves you just the way you are
                        G
You are forgiven by His scars
                  D           Em   C
Just open up your heart (Your heart)
G
 Ahh-ah-ahh
D
 Ahh-ah-ahh
Em        C
 Ahh-ah-ahhh
 
[Chorus]
        G                    D
There's freedom on the other side of
                    Em              C
Things that keep us tied up and afraid
        G                 D
There's hope in every situation
                      Em             C
No matter what you're facing every day
               Em              D
But it's up to you, you get to choose
              G                         C
The Father is waiting there with open arms
 
[Outro]
     G    D
Dear John
     Em   C
Dear John
     G    D
Dear John
     Em   C
Dear John
